More Londoners to receive HIV prevention medicine

In a boost to HIV prevention in the capital, London boroughs have agreed to provide over 4,000 extra places on the PrEP Impact Trial. The trial – a national programme led by NHS England in partnership with Public Health England and local authorities – supplies PrEP (an HIV prevention medicine) free of charge to individuals considered to be at high risk of exposure to HIV. The expansion, which will take place over the coming weeks, represents a 60% increase in the trial places available to Londoners. London already accounts for 7,609 trial places – a higher figure than the rest of England combined.
